Snotty Boy(2022)

Snotty Boy is a 1960s Austrian drama set in the provincial town of Siegheilkirchen, where rigid Catholic conservatism and reactionary values dominate daily life. The protagonist, a working-class boy nicknamed for his defiant manner, chafes against the suffocating small-town mentality that surrounds him. His family runs an inn, but their world offers little room for ambition or individuality. Drawing becomes his escape—a raw, honest outlet for frustration and creative hunger that sets him apart from his conformist neighbors. As Snotty Boy pursues his artistic gift, he must navigate the tension between family loyalty and personal freedom in a community resistant to change.
